Thats not the point.

The situation as far as Calzaghe's concerned is he has ANOTHER young unbeaten guy calling him out, along with the boxing world demanding he should face him, just like the Lacy situation...and the same divs that now write-off the Lacy win as worthless will do the same should he beat kessler

Lacy became regarded by the "fans" as the TRUE and rightfull no.1 champion in the division before he got battered too
